NOTES AND NEWS : RAINFALL. 



Such of our readers as may have specimens of pseudo-scorpions, book -scorpions, 

 or chelifers, would do well to submit them to the Rev. O. Pickard Cambridge, 

 M.A,, of Bloxworth Rectory, Wareham, Dorsetshire, who is working up 

 materials for a monograph on our British species, all of which he wishes to describe 

 and figure. The species of this group are but little known, and that no one need 

 fear that his specimens are valueless is evidenced by the fact that certain Yorkshire 

 examples which we lately sent to Mr. Cambridge are pronounced by him as being 

 of a species as yet unrecorded as British.

The second annual meeting of the Bradford Microscopical Society was held on 

 the 1st of October, when Mr. W. Townend, F.R.M.S., was elected president ; Mr. 

 J. E. Fawcett, F.R.M.S., and Dr.Hime, vice-presidents; Mr. J. Bennett, treasurer ; 

 Mr. W. L. Jefferson, librarian ; and Mr. Chas. E. Waddington, hon. secretary ; 

 with Messrs. A. J. Kershaw, Walsh, Scorah, Gaskarth, West, and J. E. Wilson to 

 complete the committee. The report has since been printed, and, together with 

 the syllabus for 1884-85, is now before us. Considerable progress is reported, and 

 an increase of twelve members, while lists of members, books and slides are 

 included in the pamphlet.
